A total solar eclipse will occur in August

On August 12, a total solar eclipse, the new moon and the peak activity of the Perseid meteor shower will occur at approximately the same time.

On that day, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun and completely cover the solar disc in some regions of the world.

On the night of August 12 to 13, the Perseid meteor shower, one of the brightest meteor showers of the year, will reach its peak.

At the end of August, on the night of August 27 to 28, a partial lunar eclipse will occur.

It will be visible in many regions of the world.

Some stages of the event may coincide with sunrise and moonset, which may affect how clearly it can be observed.
